Are You a Stress Overeater?

Stress overeaters often use food as an anesthesia to deal with the pain of chronic stress in their daily life. They believe it calms them in the midst of stressors they find difficult to manage. But the stress overeater's need for food is insatiable; nothing can satisfy the constant need for anesthesia.

About 95 percent of the population falls into the stress-overeater category. Take Dr. Peeke's 10-question quiz and find out if you're at risk:
